Ingredients
- 1 pound thick cut bacon slices cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/2 sweet onion sliced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar tightly packed
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Place the bacon into a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook until the fat has rendered, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add in onion and saute until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the brown sugar.
- Pour in 1 cup of the beef broth. Simmer until the mixture has reduced and is thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in another cup of beef broth. Simmer until the mixture has reduced, about 10 minutes. Continue this process until all the beef broth has been used.
- Transfer the bacon mixture to a blender. Add in honey, paprika, and black pepper. Blend for about 30 seconds. The mixture should be chunky, not smooth.
- Add in butter and stir until melted. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Warm before using.
